Wedding season has arrived...

Sure it's fun and lovely to attend your buddies ceremony of love, but it also means traveling, bridal showers and Finding The Perfect Wedding Present. Weddings can create a lot of waste, so why not try minimizing your nuptial-related-carbon-footprint? Well, here at the General, aside from helping you pick a sustainable Canadian-made outfit and accessories, we now have a variety of lovely home goods that would make perfect wedding presents. From handmade linen tea towels, to beautiful reclaimed wooden picture frames and mirrors...reclaimed bone china cups turned into gorgeous candleholders, or simply locally made hipster wall art, we have it all.

The Headmistress is in

We've had these wonderful feather hair and jewellery accessories for awhile but we just got a fresh shipment just in time for wedding season. Headmistress designs are the perfect icing on your wedding-attending-cake. We love that these creations are so high quality - they're as perfect underneath as the show side.
These aren't the head and hair bands of your childhood - no plastic digging in behind your ears or prickly spikes digging in to your scalp! Just silky fabrics, downy feathers and beautiful buttons and beads.
And we just LOVE this girly take on the double ring. Classic.

Majolie Morsels

We have a few Majolie summer items from seasons past, so for those of you missing the beloved fine knitwear line, here's what's likely your last chance.
